Omega-11

Synopsis

The Omega 11 system is a paradox to all those who know it. At its core lies a dying Red Giant Star, a huge ogre, belching out fire and radiation across the system. Most of its planetary bodies have been broken up by the intense tidal and themal forces of the star as it reaches its death throes. Heat and radiation bathe this forsaken system in an eerie red light that begins erroding the hulls of any ship that enters. The numerous planetary debris clouds provide minor cover from its lethal effects, but any movement outside these fields and a ship will enter the perilous Abgrund, a region of space so alive with deadly particles that to even enter it can be fatal.

There is but one reason why humans come to this System of Death, the break up of the planets, and the continued dissolution of the Omega 11 star release vast amounts of mineral wealth into space, in the form of diamonds. The abundance of these rare and beautiful objects is enough to lure many into the system seeking wealth. The area most rich in Diamonds is the molten Von Rohe Belt, that lies along the outer extent of the corona of the dying star, to get there one must brave the Abgrund, and the hightened heat and radiation of being so close to the huge star, not to mention the proximity of the corona means a single mistake in course can cause a ship to plummet into the Dying Giant's deathly embrace. Yet people still travel to the belt, to mine the diamonds, and to search for wrecks, the husks of ships who braved the Abgrund and fell foul of it, now float around the Belt as a testament to their former owner's foolishness. Yet within these hulks there is yet again the promise of bounty, as many of thse ships still contain salvigable objects, for those who can find them, and survive the journey.
